Slow death of Chief Wahoo
Here's another nail in the coffin. As an aside: how many nails do we need for this coffin?
When I look at social change in USA, I'm always thinking "well, this is what we went through in Canada twenty years ago". You'd think people would learn from others, and simply accelerate their thinking. But it seems, no, everyone has to actually grow into the right(*) position, that they can't accelerate to a point. Or we have a revolution, and instead of accelerating, you simply jump to where the right spot is.
"In every revolution, there is one man with a vision."
-- Jerome Bixby (through William Shatner, as Capt Kirk, to the uneasily-evil Mr Spock, played by Leonard Nimoy)
(*) Yes, some things are right and wrong.
